Happy New Year! And some updates...

Alright, first off - happy new year! It's snowing badly here which ruined my family's night out, and no one else is going out. So it's me and THE INTERNET tonight, except it's not since I'll likely spend most of that time watching Firefly. Anyway, onto what's been up.

I am okay. I work for ChaCha as you all know, and it appears to be recovering from its slump. The best you can do for us right now is ask questions. So, I estimate I can get about $50 a day. To move out, I'll need to gross $1,000 a month. (I'm going to save up) (plus I need a car) I hope to move out by next September. I do plan to make more than $1,000 a month with ChaCha. We'll really see how it goes on that front.

The second part of my life is now... Flash games! Yay! I took some tutorials on Flash and though it seems to be a bastard, I have little doubt I can make a good game and thus a good amount of money. The guy who made the Feudalism series took in $9,000 from the two. Learning PHP and CSS the past year have really made it easy to code in Flash. Also, I'm not making any games for MonBre. This is not and never will be Neopets.

Some of you know I am a composer... I would like to compose music for a good amount of money in my life time. Also I *gasp shock* enjoy it, and I'll be taking a music class this semester in college.

About MonBre - well, I'm here, aren't I? I have decided since I love you all and MonBre is my baby that I will release as planned... just, a month later. You all haven't even seen the racing script I was working on before my computer died. It's pretty cool. Our main problem now is FINALLY we are keeping newbies, but we are not... keeping them for long. I will see what I can do about that. I think the little "this is what you have to do next" feature I add will help. I plan for a mid-february release of version 2.0 along with $100 worth of advertising. If we can't get MonBre popular after that, well, it was nice knowing you all.

And last but not least... what else am I working on? As I'm sure you can infer, I am a workaholic. I spend 12-16 hours a day on the PC. The only time I leave the house is to see my friends and family. And to get milk. Oh, right, and school.

Simulara's her name. [link]
I am making a simulation of our real world. (yay) I don't actually know if it's going to be a game or application yet. What is likely to happen is that I will make it an application, add tons of things in there, and then allow people afterwards to control their own characters. So yeah, that's the big project I've been working on. Click it and look around there.

That is what's up. That's everything in my life and MonBre's future. I bid you adieu. All comments on what you have read here are welcome.

Edit: and jesus FUCK I'm going to do something about the randomness of our damages, the critical hits show just how flawed this system can get at higher levels...

Ooh, finally have something up for your real world simulation. ^^ I'll peek later.
Happy new year to all you who are not there yet! xD
/bed

Happy new year to you all!

Awesome, alot of awesome stuff!

And Simulara... I reckon when I have free time I'm gonna learn some coding so I may make an hack which is more game like with evolution... Well I expect many people may make certain adaptations, my advice is to get copyrighting and stuff... Though your Christian theory may upset/annoy people...

I don't care about the religious people. Realistically, the world I'm creating already has an answer to the god question - yes he exists, because he is me. As far as the christians go, it's exactly what happened in the bible. I am putting humans down, just dropping them into the universe. I was, as I said, going to use evolution, but it's pointless to code a bunch of animals and stuff when people are only interested in humans.

Also, Lennie, if you remember from way long ago, the days of PS... gof. Gof, the god of bots. I'm using that as my name for the god of Simulara.

a simulation of the world should be considered a wonder of the earth it could be a place to store all the knoledge

ps. i suck at sepllinj or is it spelling

monbre could become VERY famus if you could get it sold to a large company they could turn it into a masive multiplayer game mabie you could one day hire people and start a company called monbe inc

@Vael: Well there will always be some extremist nutjobs out there, though high security asylums should keep them in check ;p
@Aurion: Don't worry, most people understand you anyway

Aurion, I would sell MonBre and all its code for $2,000 if I could just have my life the way I want it. I love you guys, but this game needs funding and an artist. After that, it could become something very serious. MonBre wasn't a mistake as much as buying the dedicated server was. Not doing ChaCha when it was amazing, that was a mistake.

But it's the new year and it's off to a seemingly great start. I made top guide today as I half-expected, and should be getting magnet with the monies. When my computer comes back, I'll get to work on Flash and music as I want(ed) to.

Also, as a side note, I did some research and if Simulara ever gets really popular... and I mean, really popular... since most of the database work would be there, it is possible to run the simulation in a 3D environment. I do plan to Flash things eventually for it when I'm better at Flash.

C00L!!!
If I weren't so young i'd have loved to help out on MonBre and Simulara ;_;
Oh wellz... Back to stupidity...

January 02nd 2009 12:16:32 PM to help out on Simulara ;_;

You can, actually. I'm going to devise a way for the simulation to never die because it'll pick out of a big database, tons of values for things. Hmm, hard to explain. Basically I don't want to ever have a restaurant's name repeated in any region, and life, as it does in our real world, thrives in the simulation. So we're going to have 1,000 people to start off with, and then in a year maybe we'll grow to 3,000. However, the population growth a year after that may go from 3,000 to 7,000, and it will continue to thrive.

My solution at first was that I'd make a list of 100 or so words and when a new restaurant or club came up, it'd be like "Club Safari", but unfortunately things would get very stale when you start seeing like "Restaurant Safari" and "Safari Zoo". So my final solution (lol, final solution) is to have a submission system for users. They think of a good restaurant name, they submit it and it goes for review by me and my team of helpers. You said, CJ, that you don't think you'd be a forum mod, but I'm pretty sure you can tell the quality difference between "MUDKIP Inn" and "Winchester Inn".

That goes for you too, Lennie. Your time with ACT made it pretty obvious to me that you care about what you care about, and if MonBre does get popular, I see no reason why you shouldn't be in the BCS too.

Edit: I'm totally going to redo the quote function.

So creative but not stupid names... I've got some ideas ^_^

FFFFFFFFFFF IT'S SLOPPY BUT

I JUST SPENT TWO HOURS MAKING THE CUSTOM AVATARS

SO GO SET THEM

For further proof sometimes you just need to stop and take a breather, I have now made uploading sexy and flawless. Thank you for loving MONSTER BREEDER.

lol Snorlax, you're so obsessed with that poke. xD

nyoro~n :3

Yay!!! And Snorlax Lol

yeah you should try to sell monbre for as mutch as you can and then get a degree and work hard then you can make enough money to buy it back AND YOU WILL BE RITCH MUAHAHAHHA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

No, I'm not getting a degree. It's bullshit. If I get one, it's because I feel I can learn from a teacher what I can't from the internet. I don't care if I never buy a house... not that I expect to live long, but I just want to be free. And my plans don't include putting on "casual clothing" and going to work for some guy I don't care about.

Yay for rebellious Vael! :3

I'm FREE!! I'm FREE!! The bear has released its deathgrip on my ankle, and thankfully that ankle is still attached to my leg!

Change is good ^_^

what the heck is chacha?
